After Your Surgery

Following Your Surgery

After surgery, you will be provided with discharge instructions that include what you can eat and drink, activity restrictions, medication instructions and post-operative care. Of course, if you have any questions regarding your post-operative recovery, you are encouraged to contact your surgeon.

For 24 hours after your surgery, adhere to the following:

Have a family member or friend drive you home and stay with you.

Do not drive, sign important documents or make critical decisions.

Do not operate machinery, power tools or appliances.

Do not drink alcoholic beverages.

Communication from Meadows Surgery Center

Please notify us if the telephone number we should use to contact you for follow-up is different from the contact number verified at the time of your admission.
A day or two after your procedure, you will receive a call from one of the Surgery Center’s nurses to check on your progress and answer any questions you may have. If you have not spoken with a nurse by the end of the next business day, please call us at (201) 574-0566.
